A Tiny Broken Heart

He was just a little farm lad so busy at play
In his little play house down by the gate
He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door
At the home of his tiny playmate Then he saw his Daddy watching too
As the man swiftly walked to the cottage door
He knew they were strangers that come from the town
Men he had never seen beforeThey soon were at their work and he heard his Daddy say
Our neighbors are moving today
Oh no he cried dear God don't let it be
They can't take my sweetheart awayI know Dad that you don't understand
How a heart so young can conceive a plan
I'm only seven now but it's just like you said
Dad someday I'll be a manThe man who runs the farm where your playmate now lives
He told me it'd have to be this way
For winter time has come and their work is all done
So now they are moving away
